Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence. And his children will have refuge.

The Gwartney Team

At the beginning of May, we had some very special guests come visit us in Uganda. Mark's Mom, his brother and sister-in-law, Scott and Cathy, and their two girls, Christy and Casey were able to come, do Awana games with the kids at the orphanage during the school break and then go on Safari with us. Mark's mom was able to stay an another 10 days which was an extra blessing. One fun part of the trip was that our kids did not know that Christy and Casey were coming and were completely surprised when they walked through the airport door. What an incredible gift to be able to share with family what it is like to live and work here! We had a great time and so grateful for it!

Gwartneys in Uganda

When we were called to go to Good Shepherd's Fold Children's and Babies' Home in Buundo, Uganda, God confirmed in our hearts Proverbs 14:26. In the fear of the LORD there is strong confidence, And his children will have refuge. The Lord, with the strong confidence He gives, is the only reason we are here and have been able to stay here. We are able to find our refuge and our strength in Him. You are welcome to follow along as our family learns of His strength and confidence and are called to share that with others.
